As LIV Golf prepares this week for its third tournament of 2024, the Official World Golf Ranking issue is again at the forefront, with Talor Gooch the latest to criticize the system that helps with major championship qualification.
Gooch, who won three LIV Golf events in 2023 and was the league’s player of the year, is not yet in any of this year's major championships. He played in three last year, missing the cut in two, but has dropped to 449th in the OWGR.
“If Rory (McIlroy) goes and completes his (career) Grand Slam without some of the best players in the world, there’s just going to be an asterisk,” Gooch said of the Masters in an interview with Australian Golf Digest. “I think everybody wins whenever the majors figure out a way to get the best players in the world there.”
